Bluesign Expands Services to Help Reduce Textile’s Impact on Planet

Building on more than 20 years of excellence in the textile industry, new tiered service offerings will strengthen Bluesign’s capabilities as a full-service sustainability solutions system for the entire textile value chain and expand into promotional, workwear, corporate wear, home textile and footwear segments.

As the textile industry grapples with evolving regulations, increased consumer and stakeholder pressure to meet sustainability goals, and the lack of verified data, registered bluesign has updated its service offerings to help brands, manufacturers and chemical companies to understand and manage their value chains better. The initiatives expand Bluesign’s core competencies of reducing impact across the supply chain, providing reliable, third-party verified data, mitigating the use of hazardous chemicals through input stream management and replacing substances with registered bluesign APPROVED chemistry (a positive list of chemical products with less impact on people and planet).

Bluesign’s high-value services are available for all companies willing to reduce the impact of their value chain without compromising on quality.

As an organization with a team of experts in chemical management, process know-how, worker health and safety, sustainability and environmental sciences, bluesign has been offering a best-in-class suite of services under System Partnership. Bluesign recognizes that taking environmental responsibility to a higher level requires tools and validation methods to reduce the impact on people and the planet.

Bluesign now extends its System Partnership services and launching DATA SERVICES and IMPACT SERVICES for brands and manufacturers.
